Are you looking for a classic cake recipe? You’ve come to the right place. We have a deliciously simple white cake recipe that you’ll love!
To make this classic vanilla cake, you’ll need 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of butter, 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, 1 cup of milk and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Stir in the vanilla extract. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Once cool, frost with your favorite icing, such as vanilla buttercream or cream cheese frosting. Enjoy your delicious classic white cake!
